About Chris
Chris Rottcher is an Integrative Counsellor with seven years of experience and NCPS credentialing. He works in the United Kingdom and talks with people about stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, trauma and abuse, parenting pressures, low self-esteem, addictions, grief and codependency among other concerns.
He uses direct, honest conversation as the basis of his work. Sessions focus on building a steady relationship so deeper material can be addressed over time. He pays attention to how past hurts and present patterns affect everyday feelings and behaviour.
Chris draws on several therapeutic ideas during sessions rather than one fixed method. He pays attention to relationships, bodily experience, meaning-making and personal agency when people feel stuck. That might mean noticing how emotions show up in the body, looking at attachment patterns, or reflecting on the choices that lead to repeated behaviour.
He describes counselling as a process of exploring past and present hurts and processing trauma so it feels less overwhelming. Practical conversation and reflection are used alongside inward noticing and meaning work. Sessions aim to help people make clearer choices and gain a stronger sense of self over time.
Chris offers sessions in English and Afrikaans and accepts clients internationally. Before a first appointment people are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule their initial session. Costs vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.
How sessions work
Working with attachment, meaning and presence online
Attachment-based work focuses on how early and current relationships shape emotional responses. Online sessions can look at patterns such as people-pleasing, fear of rejection or clinginess and how these play out now. Mindfulness-based practice pays attention to bodily sensations and present-moment experience to reduce reactivity and increase awareness of feelings and urges. It can help with anxiety, stress and managing cravings. Existential and meaning-focused work examines values, purpose and choice when life feels empty or stuck; it supports people who want clearer reasons for their actions and decisions.Finding the right blend of approaches is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss options with each person and decide together which methods suit their needs, goals and preferences. That discussion is collaborative and can change as therapy progresses.
The biography does not list which online session formats are offered, so please confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into everyday life, for example by avoiding travel time, allowing a shorter check-in at lunch, or letting someone choose a quieter setting for reflective work. It also means people can access a counsellor in another region or when relocating internationally. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt attachment, mindfulness and existential techniques to the online setting to focus on clearer boundaries, processing past hurts and building stronger self-awareness.
